I’m tired of violence.

I’m tired of hearing about people killing people. 

I’m tired of hearing about people treating people poorly.

I’m tired of hearing people saying that they’d like to do this or that to someone who has committed some perceived wrong against them.

I wonder where our compassion for one another has gone.

I wonder why we don’t give one another a second chance.

I wonder why people are so angry behind the wheels of their cars.

I wonder why letters to the editor often have a tone of anger.

I wonder why we aren’t more understanding of other people.
